HISTORY OF ADVERTISING TRUST

The History of Advertising Trust is the largest archive of UK advertising material in the world and is an educational Trust formed in 1976, becoming a registered charity in 1978. It encourages and subsidises the study of UK advertising and brand communications. Through HAT Archive, it rescues, preserves and conserves the industry's history and its best work.

Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

The charity has received modest backing from a grant maker recently
The Board appears to be well diversified in terms of age and gender and dynamic in terms of composition

Financial issues to consider:

A PartB annual return has not been required and so detailed financial information is not available from the online data
